Nebius Group's first-quarter financial performance significantly surpassed Wall Street projections, with revenue reaching $399 million for the period ending in March. This substantial increase from the prior year's $50.9 million figure drove NBIS stock up 12% in early premarket activity.

Nebius, a neocloud provider, delivers AI cloud infrastructure including Nvidia GPUs and managed toolsets. Capital expenditures for the quarter were approximately $2.5 billion, underscoring the company's strategy to rapidly scale its global data center infrastructure.
